Hessel Family Spring Sunset Family Session | Canal Winchester, Ohio Family Photographer →

January 4, 2018 Story Told Photography

Happy Friday! It's still freezing here in Ohio with single digit temperatures so I am loving sharing some of my spring sessions from 2017! It is helping me remember warmer days are right around the corner... kind of. Just a few more months!

Today I am sharing the Hessel family session! You guys... this family means so much to me. For a long while there was a piece of my heart that was missing. Many of you know my neighbor passed away a few years ago, a couple of months after I got married. She wasn't just a neighbor though. She was like a grandmother to me. We were extremely close. I was devastated, to say the least. I did not get to say goodbye to her - I was too busy, to selfish to see her. I thought she'd come home... but then she did go *home* and I struggled with that for so long. I felt her everywhere, I saw her in everything.

January 2, 2018 Story Told Photography

Oh my goodness! I had been looking forward to this spring session and seeing Erica and Zach! I shot their engagement and wedding photos and was beyond thrilled when Erica reached out for maternity portraits!

Erica rocked pregnancy. I mean, look how gorgeous she is in this gown! She and Zach brought along an ultrasound photos and the most precious, soft bunny that when squeezed played the baby's heartbeat! We had to include the bunny in some shots.

Anthony & Ashley | Greek Orthodox Wedding Ceremony | Columbus, Ohio →

December 30, 2017 Story Told Photography

Happy NEW YEAR! It is 2018 you guys. That is absolutely insane. This year, it is my resolution to make it to church more and spend more time with the people I love! Building my business the past few years kept me from taking time for myself and my family, but I'm feeling good about balancing everything this year!

Today I am sharing Anthony and Ashley's Greek Orthodox wedding ceremony. I shot this beautiful ceremony last Spring. I wanted to share this ceremony with you because if you are unfamiliar with the Orthodox faith and you attend a wedding, you may have no idea what is going on. Why are there crowns? Why do they drink from a cup? I've taken the below from our church website.

Bridget | Ohio State University Senior | Class of 2017

December 28, 2017 Story Told Photography

True story: I am 27 years old, have lived in Central Ohio my entire life, and I didn't walk across the oval at OSU's campus until this past Spring! Bridget contacted me for college senior portraits. This is totally not a thing in Ohio, but of course I was all about it! Bridget is from New York and she did not do high school senior portraits, so doing them for college was a must! So I think we should make it a thing here, too! I've got an OU senior session coming up this spring and I cannot wait!

November 28, 2017 Story Told Photography

Holy mackerel, y’all! I haven’t blogged a thing since the spring! This winter calls for some serious catching up, what do you say? I am so excited to share with you the shoots and weddings I have done this year! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and I hope you’re gearing up for a fun and relaxing holiday season.

I have been very busy! This year was phenomenal and I’m so grateful for all the work I’ve been given. I’m ready to show it off! For now, I want to share with you a styled shoot I did with Dalay Ket Event Design last spring- yes, 2016. Borrowed and Blue published this shoot this year! My goal was to have one of my shoots published this year. I have since had two other shoots published!

Nichole | Stow High School | Rainy Day Winter Senior Session | Columbus, Ohio Senior Portrait Photographer →

May 1, 2017 Story Told Photography

My last senior of 2017! Nichole drove all the way down to Columbus from Stow! I told y'all I have the best clients ever!

Not only is she beautiful - her dimply smile reminds me of Ashley Wagner! If you watch ice skating, you'll know who that is! Nichole has some big plans for the future, including going to school to become a nurse practitioner.

Deanna & Sean | Engaged | Columbus, Ohio Wedding Photographer →

April 26, 2017 Story Told Photography

Deanna reached out to me last year while finishing up school in Pensacola! I didn't even know this was a place until Deanna. (Don't judge- I don't get out of Ohio much!) I had a tremendously long day and was an entire hour late for our first phone call. Deanna was literally the kindest and most understanding person ever about it. Still, I was certain there was no way she would hire me after my ridiculous tardiness! I am so thankful she still did because she is hands down one of the sweetest people I have ever met and I am so excited for her and Sean's Ohio Statehouse wedding this summer!

Here's Gabby! Oh, I LOVE this girl!!! I actually knew of Gabby before she reached out about senior photos. I Saw her in her high school musical - mom and I had to go - it was 9 to 5! I couldn't get over her talent! She SHINED!

When Gabby showed up for her senior session, I exclaimed - I know you! haha. She is so sweet, yet I love her confidence - this girl is going places! She even got me tickets to another musical she was in - A Christmas Carol! We had so much fun at the show.
